Increased kallikrein excretion in spontaneously hypertensive rats and its inhibition by 6-hydroxydopamine. 1980

W Rascher, and G Bönner, and M Stocker, and F Gross

Urinary kallikrein excretion was studied in young, stroke-prone, spontaneously hypertensive rats (spSHR). Seven-week-old spSHR were found to excrete more kallikrein into the urine than normotensive Wistar Kyoto control rats (WKR). "Chemical sympathectomy", induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) immediately after birth, resulted in normotensive blood-pressure levels and in a reduction of kallikrein in spSHR. In normotensive WKR, blood pressure and urinary kallikrein excretion were only slightly diminished by 6-OHDA. The results suggest a relationship between sympathetic activity and kallikrein excretion, being especially pronounced in spSHR, which have an elevated sympathetic activity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D007610 Kallikreins Proteolytic enzymes from the serine endopeptidase family found in normal blood and urine. Specifically, Kallikreins are potent vasodilators and hypotensives and increase vascular permeability and affect smooth muscle. They act as infertility agents in men. Three forms are recognized, PLASMA KALLIKREIN (EC 3.4.21.34), TISSUE KALLIKREIN (EC 3.4.21.35), and PROSTATE-SPECIFIC ANTIGEN (EC 3.4.21.77).
